RE: Krell S-275 & subs - What's up with that?

Yes, always. This assures that the bass character of the amplifier is maintained by the sub. For example, say you had a CJ MV-55, which is a wonderful classic tube amp. Attaining a good match or blend with that amp's warm and relatively soft and "bloomy" bass character to a good sub with its tight and detailed solid state bass would be very difficult. But using the sub's high level inputs, the MV-55's bass character is fully apparent in the sub's output and a satisfactory blend between the main speakers and sub is possible.

This is the reason I spent so much time and effort with the JL Audio sub, building a voltage divider. That excellent sub was difficult to match to the amps on hand during the review because it has only a line-level input. Creating a high-level input resulted in outstanding sound.
